Dear Friends, As many of you just heard from the Desy official press release circulated by Frau Nagel, the German Science Council published a very positive evaluation of the Tesla project yesterday. Since Frau Nagel's email list isn't identical to our European LC list, I am forwarding the two attacments of her mail to you of our Ecfa/Desy list. Apologies to some of you who get this information twice. As many of you already learned via the American LC list (email by Norman Graf), the information already leaked out this weekend after the Wissenschaftsrat meeting on Friday, and can be seen at http://de.news.yahoo.com/020712/3/2usir.html http://www2.abendblatt.de/daten/2002/07/13/46502.html Again apologies if you get this info twice... Best wishes, Ron
